wickedheadacheHi is it possible to switch to ubuntu from xubuntu 12.10? i can't install any new software in xubuntu...it's driving me nuts04:54
Unit193You can't install new software, because 12.10 is eol...04:55
Unit193!eolupgrades04:55
ubottuEnd-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades04:55
wickedheadacheso can i run sudo apt-get upgrade?04:58
wickedheadacheor do i absolutely have to edit the sources list for each upgrade?04:59
holsteinwickedheadache: you shouldnt just edit the sources05:01
wickedheadachenuts05:01
holsteinwickedheadache: 12.10's repos are not up anymore.. its not part of what is provided for us/you as part of the agreement for 12.1005:01
wickedheadachei thought it was extended cause 12 was so awesome xD05:02
holsteinwickedheadache: 12.04 is LTS..05:02
holsteinlts = long term support05:02
wickedheadacheaw i got the wrong version05:02
wickedheadacheoh well05:02
holsteinwickedheadache: you are welcome to support 12.10, as long as you please.. but, ubuntu is not supporting it anymore05:02
wickedheadachehehe05:02
wickedheadacheI wish i could actually fully support an os all by myself05:03
holsteinliterally nothing is stopping you.. but, i think you'll find it easier, and more constructive to just download, and install 14.0405:03
holstein!14.0405:03
ubottuUbuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes05:03
wickedheadachei didn't do that cause there was no cd-rom image, and the one i did find was 740mb not less then 70005:04
holstein!mini05:04
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD05:04
wickedheadacheall i had was 700mb cd-rs05:04
wickedheadacheargh05:04
holsteinwickedheadache: ^ there, you will find *small* isos for supported versions that fit on cd's..05:05
wickedheadachei should of come ehre first instead of googleing and searching05:05
daidwisteris there an easy uograde path from Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS to 14.10?07:01
daidwister*upgrade07:01
baizonyes, update manager should be fine07:05
baizon@daidwister07:05
daidwisterok, thanks07:46
daidwisterso, no do-release-upgrade ?07:46

natuziWhen I run apt-get autoremove, it shows me linux-image-generic. Can I remove it?12:46
cfhowlettnatuzi, yes12:46
baizonnatuzi: this are the old kernels, yes you can remove them12:47
natuziI see, old kernels. It is remplaced by what? I mean the name of the packet.12:49
baizonnatuzi: with an updated version12:49
natuziI understand but the name of the packet, what is it?12:50
baizonnatuzi: it depends, i think it's linux-image-generic-lts-utopic12:50
natuziI don't have this packet, is it linux-image-3...-generic?12:52
koegsnatuzi: apt-get autoremove tells you the name...12:52
natuziAnd is it normal if I have many linux-image-3...-generic packets?12:53
natuzikoegs: It just tells me linux-image-generic12:53
natuziSorry for my questions, I just want to understand.12:53
colp2linux-image-generic should not be removed. It essnetially a placeholder  for the "current" for apt-get install.12:55
colp2linux-image-3... can be removed, it is a specific version that is replaced by some other version12:55
koegsoh, ok, natuzi, i thought he wants to remove the other packages, linux-image-generic should be kept12:55
natuziI see the old version of the kernel is named linux-image-generic and the new one is linux-image-generic-3.16.0-31-generic.12:55
koegsnatuzi: are you trying to install the HWE-Kernel?12:56
koegsread: utopic-kernel for trusty?12:57
natuziI'm just trying to understand if I must remove linux-image-generic or not. I'm asking this question because I saw on the Internet that having mutiple versions of the kernel is a good thing because if I have a problem with a version of the kernel, I can run the system with a previous version.12:58
koegscorrect, ubuntu normally keeps the latest-version and the version before and normally linux-image-generic will be kept as installed, as long as you don't do something manually12:59
koegslinux-image-generic will be removed and replaced by linux-image-generic-lts-utopic for example, if you manually install Kernel 3.16 in 14.0412:59
natuziIf I have Xubuntu 14.10, that means when I'll remove linux-image-generic, it will be remplaced by linux-image-generic-lts-utopic and linux-image-generic-3.16.0-31-generic will be kept too?13:01
knomenatuzi, don't remove it, it's a meta package.13:03
colp2first install hardware enablement stack / kernel 3.16, after that you remove linux-image-generic13:03
colp2AFAIK removing linux-image-generic will not automatically install the 3.16/lts-utopic13:04
natuziOk, I'll just keep it and assume apt-get is wrong. Thank you, guys.13:08
GreylocksIs there an xbuntu-next or can problems with vivid be reported here?13:45
PiciGreylocks: #ubuntu+1 is for all flavors of Ubuntu13:45
GridCube^ yes, but also #xubuntu-devel13:46
GreylocksPici: thanks:)13:46
PiciGridCube: right.  I always forget that #xubuntu-devel is user friendly... #ubuntu-devel... not so much.13:46
GreylocksGridCube: thank you too13:46
GridCubePici: if they are running as beta testers they are indirect part of devel P: and they report of issues is what devel needs13:47
GridCubeif no one reports issues then how can someone fix them?13:47
GridCube:D13:47
elfyand following a thread on the m/l - in here once Beta arrives, which it has13:48
Picio13:49
* Pici stands corrected13:49
elfy:)13:49
GridCube:D dont worry Pici you where correct, for most issues #ubuntu+1 is the place13:49
elfyhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-November/010471.html13:50
elfyyep13:50
PiciWell, we wouldn't throw you out if you asked an Xubuntu question in #ubuntu+1, fwiw :)13:51
xubuntu874hey guys, I need some help. I deleted by mistake some plug-ins from the control panel at the upper frame of the desktop (in German it´s called Leiste). I lost the possiblity to controll the volume which is connected to gmusicbrowser as well as the battery status and the pidgin-status-contoll-box. I don´t know how to restore all of this in its original state. Can you please help me?14:17
cfhowlettxubuntu874, if you delete all the .hidden files and folders in your /home AND ONLY in /home, logout/login.  everything will reset to factory default state14:19
xubuntu874@cfhowlett: thanks for answering. This would me I will loose my personal data as well?14:21
cfhowlettyes.14:21
cfhowlettwait,14:21
cfhowlettit will kill your SETTINGS and whatever personal data you have in those settings.  but actual data, i.e. music, videos,etc would be safe as those are NOT typically .hidden14:22
xubuntu874ok then I will try this. thanks again14:23

natuziI have a problem with compiling mplayer on Xubuntu 14.10.16:54
bazhangnatuzi, why compile it16:54
bazhangnatuzi, what version you have right now16:55
natuzibazhang: The utopic version of it doesn't contain mencoder.16:55
natuziI need mencoder. I have Xubuntu 14.10 and MPlayer2 2.016:56
bazhangnatuzi, what specific task requires that16:56
natuziInstall the trusty version of mplayer via ppa or compile it myself but I have errors to build a deb file.16:57
drcBut back to the question: natuzi, what exactly is the problem?16:57
bazhangwhats the need for *mencoder*16:57
bazhangubottu, lag16:58
ubottuYou have lag, I don't have lag16:58
natuziOh, I use it to rip movies and do some video encoding. I don't want an alternative, I didn't know that by updating Xubuntu it'll remove mencoder.16:59
natuziI have this error with checkinstall : Makefile:22: config.mak: No such file or directory make: *** osdep/: Is a directory. Stop.16:59
bazhang!find avconv16:59
ubottuFile avconv found in devede, libav-doc, libav-tools17:00
natuziIs it a fork of mplayer or what?17:00
Nivexmencoder is in a separate package now17:00
bazhangnatuzi, got build-essential installed?17:00
Nivexapt-get install mencoder   and you're off to the races17:01
bazhang!info mencoder17:01
ubottuPackage mencoder does not exist in utopic17:01
cfhowlettnatuzi, avconv is a fork of ffmpeg, however, ffmpeg will return to ubuntu repos it vivid, IIRC. also: ffmpeg and avconv will likely ... defork? at some point17:01
bazhangNivex, not in utopic17:01
Nivexoh, right, this is a trusty box I'm sitting on17:01
Nivexsorry17:01
natuzibazhang: I know that's why I'm trying to compile it17:01
bazhang!find ffmpeg vivid17:02
ubottuFound: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-dbg, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-dbg, cmus-plugin-ffmpeg, ffmpeg, ffmpeg-dbg, ffmpeg-doc, ffmpeg2theora, ffmpegthumbnailer (and 29 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ffmpeg&searchon=names&suite=vivid&section=all17:02
bazhangis it just me lagging17:02
bazhang!info ffmpeg vivid17:03
ubottuffmpeg (source: ffmpeg): Tools for transcoding, streaming and playing of multimedia files. In component universe, is optional. Version 7:2.5.4-1 (vivid), package size 1144 kB, installed size 1750 kB17:03
natuziI just want to compile it, is it impossible? Because you're all giving me ffmpeg forks17:03
bazhangis that the version you need/want natuzi17:03
bazhangnatuzi, did you install build-essential17:04
natuzibazhang: yes17:04
bazhangok17:05
bazhang!info libav-tools17:06
ubottulibav-tools (source: libav): Multimedia player, encoder and transcoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 6:11-1 (utopic), package size 410 kB, installed size 2896 kB17:06
bazhangI just use the handbrake devs recommended version17:06
bazhangafaik the avconv commands are not that different than what you would do with mencoder/ffmpeg17:07
natuzibazhang: I'm checking the doc right now17:08
bazhangnatuzi, any special use case or the like? ripping to mp4 and such?17:08
bazhang!info ogmrip17:10
ubottuPackage ogmrip does not exist in utopic17:10
natuzibazhang: It doesn't exist too on utopic17:10
natuzibut i know this software17:10
bazhangutopic really cleaned the cupboards of some of the better tools17:11
natuziwith avconv can I dumptstream ?17:11
natuzilike vob > vob (copy the video/audio codec)17:11
bazhangno compression whatsoever?17:11
natuziyes with libx26417:12
natuzibut also without compression17:12
natuziand also some cropping and advanced subtitle options17:12
bazhangnot used it much , sorry about that natuzi17:12
bazhangogmrip had some super nice presets already set17:13
natuzibazhang: I'm just wondering nobody explained me for my compiling mplayer problem, is it impossible, not recommended or something?17:13
natuziogmrip use mencoder too that's why they removed it from the repo i think17:14
bazhangyet ogmrip-dirac and oggz are still there17:15
natuziogmrip-dirac is an extension for ogmrip17:16
bazhangyep17:17
natuzibut I think I'm just to scared to use other softwares avconv seems to be good17:17
bazhanghard to use since ogmrip is not there though17:17
natuzioh maybe mpv can do thing since it's a fork of mplayer17:19
ObrienDaverage quit? ;P18:03
bazhangseemed satisfied enough18:04
bazhanghttp://blog.smplayer.info/smplayer-with-support-for-mpv-is-now-available/18:04
bazhangmpv really does have a huge number of options18:05
bazhangso he was on the right track18:05
ObrienDavewell, i could have recommended handbrake and makemkv18:05
bazhangsure18:05
bazhangmpv is pretty much cli18:06
ObrienDaveah, a real guru :)18:06

ambrose_Yes, I had a question23:33
ambrose_I have written my own firewall.  Seems to work, but my knowledge is limited.23:34
ambrose_Is there any value to dropping packets whose source addr is not my IP on the OUT side?23:37
